Pinfold Medical was established in April 2018 as an umbrella organisation to facilitate the closer integration of local practices. With the NHS Forward View and upcoming plans for Primary Care Networks, it is important for general practice to embrace these developments and begin working collaboratively, with the aim of offering improved services to our patients.
To this effect All Saints’ Surgery (AS) and Field Road Surgery (FRS) have merged to streamline their back office functions whilst keeping two separate wings to minimise any disruption to the services patients have become familiar with. This has provided us with the benefit of reducing unnecessary duplication of administration whilst expanding shared services and offering best practice.
From January 2022 we have been operating the nursing facilities from the former All Saints Surgery side of the building and all GP appointments from the former Field Road Surgery side of the building.
